UltraRAG

UltraRAG is an LLM RAG orchestration platform and AI agent research framework designed to coordinate complex retrieval-augmented generation workflows. It functions as a multimodal RAG engine capable of retrieving and generating responses using text, images, and diverse data types, while providing tools for vector database management and RAG performance evaluation.

The platform features a visual RAG pipeline builder that uses a canvas interface to construct and debug data flows, synchronizing visual designs directly with underlying code. It distinguishes itself through an autonomous research system that employs state-machine logic to route tasks between information gathering, planning, and writing to produce long-form research reports.

The system covers a broad range of capabilities, including multimodal knowledge base management, real-time reasoning chain visualization, and the execution of complex workflows with loops and conditional branching. It also supports the integration of decoupled atomic servers for extensibility and provides toolkits for benchmarking model output quality against standardized datasets.

The software can be deployed using Docker containers for standardized environments or as local research agents for offline operation.
